4.2 Connection to the Inverter
1. Below is the diagram of EzLogger Pro DI ports, where REF1 and REF2 occupy two ports respectively.
1 2 3 4
EzLogger Pro DI ports are compatible with RCR and DRED functions, and the ports for
different functions are defined as follows:
REF1 1 2 3 4 REF2
2. COM1, COM2 and COM3 only communicate with the inverters, and COM4 is only
connected to the environmental monitor and other devices, so avoid wrong correction.
3. A of COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4 ports corresponds to the differential signal +, B
corresponds to the differential signal -.
Through RS485, the inverter is connected to EzLogger Pro for communication, and EzLogger
Pro has 3 RS485 ports, namely COM1, COM2 and COM 3.
The diagram of COM1, COM2 and COM3 ports of EzLogger Pro is as follows:

4.2.2 Connection to multiple inverters
When EzLogger Pro is connected to multiple inverters, “hand-in-hand” connection method can be
used; each inverter has two multiplexed RS485 communication ports, and one RS485 port of
the inverter is connected to one RS485 port of the next inverter. Note that port A shall
correspond to Port A, and Port B shall correspond to Port B, and the number of inverters
connected to a single COM port shall not exceed 20.
EzLogger Pro
Introduce how EzLogger Pro is connected to the environmental monitor and meter.
When EzLogger Pro is connected to the environment monitor , meter and other devices, COM4 port
shall be used.
Schematic diagram of COM4 port is as follows:

4.4 Connection to the Computer
Description of COM4:
Please make sure that the RS485 + of the environmental monitor and meter is connected to COM4 “A”
of EzLogger Pro, and the RS485 - of the environmental monitor and meter is connected to COM4 “B”
of EzLogger Pro. Environmental monitor , meter and other devices can only be connected to COM4.
Steps:
1. Insert one end of the network cable into the “NET” port of EzLogger Pro.
2. Insert the other end of the cable into the computer's Ethernet port.
In Germany and parts of Europe, power grid companies use ripple control receivers to convert power grid
scheduling signals for dry contact transmission, and power stations need to use dry contact
communication method to receive power grid scheduling signals.
DI terminal interface of EzLogger Pro is as follows:
14
4.5 Connection to the Ripple Control Receiver
Steps:
1. Select a cable of appropriate length, and connect one end of the cable with the ripple control receiver.
2. Connect the other end of the cable with the corresponding DI port of EzLogger Pro, and refer to
Section 4.2.1 Inverter RS485 communication connection method for detailed connection.
15
4.6 Connection to DRED
According to the Australian safety regulations, power grid companies use DRED to convert power grid
scheduling signals for dry contact transmission, and power stations need to use dry contact
communication method to receive power grid scheduling signals.
EzLogger Pro is connected to DRED or ripple control receiver using the same port, and the port is
defined as follows when DRED function is used.
DI Port Description
When EzLogger Pro is connected to DRED, terminal connection method shall be used.
Steps:
1. Select a cable of appropriate length, and connect one end of the cable with DRED.
2. Connect the other end of the cable with the DI port of EzLogger Pro; note the definition of the port,
and refer to Section 4.2.1 Inverter RS485 communication connection method for detailed connection.

Chapter V: EzLogger Pro Data Upload and Function Configuration
Introduce LAN EzLogger Pro monitoring data transmission and the configuration
method.
After EzLogger Pro is connected to the collected data, one should connect EzLogger Pro to the
Internet, so that EzLogger Pro can upload the collected data to the ser ver. Dynamic IP (DHCP) is
a default function for EzLogger Pro.
If the user ’s network equipment is available with the dynamic IP (DHCP), such as router,
EzLogger Pro can be connected to the Internet in a plug-and-play way simply through direct
connection of the NET port of EzLogger Pro to the LAN port of the router and the enabling of the
dynamic IP (DHCP) function of the router. The collected Data will be automatically uploaded.
If the network equipment is available with static IP, you will need to switch EzLogger Pro to the
static IP mode, then use our ProMate software to change the IP address of EzLogger Pro into the
user ’s desired static IP address, and then connect to the user's Internet, as shown in the figure
below. For more information about configuration, the user may refer to the static IP address
connection configuration method of ProMate.

5.2 EzLogger Pro Configuration
(5) Double click on “Internet Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4)” to pop up the “Properties” dialog box of
“Internet Protocol 4 (TCP/IPv4)”, then complete the setting for the dialog box in accordance
with the following requirements.
The defaulted IP address for EzLogger Pro is 192.168.1.200. In order to put your computer and
EzLogger Pro under the same network segment, you should set the IP address and the default
gateway in 192.168.1. XXX network segment (1 ≤ XXX ≤ 250 and XXX ≠200).
For example:
The user can set the IP address as 192.168.1.100 and the default gateway as 192.168.1.254.
Click “Connect” button in ProMate to connect ProMate to EzLogger Pro, and the system will
indicate “The connection is successful”, as shown in Figure 5.2-7.

21
5.2.1 Connecting ProMate to EzLogger Pro
Put the above data into LAN configuration, and then click the “Set” button to complete the
set. Now IP address of EzLogger Pro has been modified as the configuration as required by the
user, and physical connection between EzLogger Pro and ProMate can be disconnected after
the configuration is completed. Then the Internet will be available just by plugging Ethernet
cable into EzLogger Pro.
(7) After the configuration is completed, the user can pull out the cable which connected to
Ethernet port of the computer, and then insert it into the router. At the same time, the user
shall restore the IP address and other parameters of the computer to default settings.To
change EzLogger Pro back to use dynamic IP, please long press RELOAD button for around 4
seconds. An ordinal LEDs blinking from left to right indicates EzLogger Pro is rebooting, after
which, dynamic IP is set successfully.

5.2.2 Quantity Configuration for Inverter Communication Port
Please set the quantity of devices of each port according to the quantity of inverters actually
connected. Upon the completion of setting, the user can check the actual communication status
of inverter from the LED indicator of EzLogger Pro (see Section 2.3 LED Indicator).

the user sell electricity power value, display negative value means the user buy electricity power
value.
Inverters power means: All of the inverters’ sum of generate electricity power value.
Load power means: Load consumption power.
When start using DRED function , if EzLogger Pro detects inverter had earth fault,then it will trigger
sound-light alarm function:buzzer will ring for 1 minute,and RUN LED will be lighting for 1
minute.After 1 minute,the alarm will stop and keep on detecting every 30 minutes until fault
disappearing.

Chapter VI: Data Upload and Function Configuration For Wi-Fi EzLogger Pro
Introduce the data transfer monitoring and configuration process of Wi-Fi EzLogger Pro
Before reading Wi-Fi EzLogger Pro’s product manual, please install the antenna to ANT terminal first
which is located on EzLogger Pro box’s left side and upside. The details please refer to section 2.2 box
instructions.
Please make sure the EzLogger Pro is joint up with network first and then,connect EzLogger Pro
to the equipment. Under this circumstances the EzLogger Pro will upload the collected data to
ser ver. Wi-Fi-EzLogger Pro’s networking mode realized through configuring Wi-Fi module to
connect to router.There are two ways for configuration process,they are webpage configuration
and APP configuration.The details please refer to “Wi-Fi connection configuration”
instructions which is in the accessor y package.
28
6.2 Using ProMate to configure Wi-Fi EzLogger Pro
After Wi-Fi configuration success and EzLogger Pro connecting to router success,the
“SERVER” LED on the EzLogger Pro will blink .After EzLogger Pro communicating with ser ver
successfully,the “SERVER” LED will light.Once the Wi-Fi connecting is successful,Wi-Fi module
will be the STA mode,that means EzLogger Pro cannot search out Wi-Fi hotspot.If the customer
needs to reconfigure the Wi-Fi module connecting to router,it will have to long press the
”RELOAD” button about 5s to change Wi-Fi module to AP mode then,it can be connected to
“Solar-Wi-Fi” again and reconfiguration.
